Compactor

Abstract

A compactor, comprising at least one compactor roller that can be rotated around a roller axis of rotation, at least one edge shaping device and a fluid reservoir/delivery system for storing and delivering fluid to at least one compactor roller and at least one edge shaping device, characterized in that the fluid reservoir/delivery system comprises at least one first fluid pump for pumping fluid to at least one first fluid delivery unit assigned to a compactor roller and at least one second fluid pump for pumping fluid to at least one second fluid delivery unit assigned to an edge shaping unit.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A compactor comprising:
 at least one compactor roller that can be rotated around a roller axis of rotation, 
 at least one edge shaping device, 
 a fluid reservoir/delivery system for storing and delivering fluid to at least one compactor roller and at least one edge shaping device, 
 wherein the fluid reservoir/delivery system comprises two first fluid pumps for pumping fluid to at least one first fluid delivery unit assigned to a respective compactor roller and one second fluid pump for pumping fluid to at least one second fluid delivery unit assigned to a respective edge shaping unit, 
 wherein the two first fluid pumps are connected parallel to each other for delivering fluid to a common first fluid delivery line supplying fluid to each of the at least one first fluid delivery unit, and 
 wherein the second fluid pump delivers fluid into a second fluid line supplying fluid to the at least one second fluid delivery unit. 
 
     
     
       2. The compactor according to  claim 1 , wherein the two first fluid pumps and the second fluid pump absorb fluid from an intermediate fluid line. 
     
     
       3. The compactor according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one second fluid pump has a lower maximum output than the at least one first fluid pump. 
     
     
       4. The compactor according to  claim 1 , wherein the fluid reservoir/delivery system comprises at least one main fluid reservoir and a main fluid line assigned to each at least one main fluid reservoir, each main fluid line leads to an intermediate fluid reservoir. 
     
     
       5. The compactor according to  claim 4 , wherein an intermediate fluid line leads from the intermediate fluid reservoir to the at least one first fluid pump and the at least one second fluid pump. 
     
     
       6. The compactor according to  claim 4 , wherein:
 the at least one main fluid reservoir is filled and drained via the main fluid lines, or 
 the intermediate fluid reservoir is assigned a filling connection for filling the at least one main fluid reservoir via the intermediate fluid reservoir, or 
 two compactor rollers are provided, each compactor roller being assigned a fluid delivery unit or a main fluid reservoir being arranged above each compactor roller. 
 
     
     
       7. The compactor according to  claim 1 , wherein two compactor rollers are provided, a respective edge shaping device being provided and assigned to each compactor roller on different sides of the compactor in the direction of the compactor roller axes of rotation.
